Safari Not Loading (HELP!)

I know this seems to be a common topic here, but I wanted to get my question in here as well! I have followed all of the suggestions that I have seen on this board and none of them have worked. I re-installed Safari using the custom install method, downloaded the 10.5.4 combo update, repaired disk permissions and re-ran the 10.5.4 update and restarted. When I go to open Safari, the icon just keeps bouncing and I get that lovely wheel of color just going forever and the menu bar does not change to the one for Safari, it keeps the menu bar in the finder and then I have to force quit.
If anyone has any other suggestions or is still having more problem after following the different suggestions on this board, any help would be greatly appreciated! I miss using Safari, I actually had to remember some of my logins for websites today and that was not fun!
Thanks!

If you've tried every other suggestion that was made for others with similar problems and it didn't work, then I'd say your only choice left is an Archive and Install, choosing the option to Preserve Users and Network Settings.
This will install a fresh copy of 10.5.x on your Mac, move the old one to a folder named Previous System 1 and keep all your applications and preferences intact. You will have to use Software Update to get back to 10.5.4 and Safari 3.1.2, but that should be easy since it's all handled for you.

Safari not loading images

I'm having an issue with Safari not loading websites correctly. It happens on BBC and Apple website. All I get is the text, no banners, images, thumbnails, nothing. Can anyone shed light as to why this is happening. My internet is connection is fibreoptic and is 55mb/second

Safari > Preference > Advanced
Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
"Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar
Enable Images.
Make sure that"Disable Images" is not enabled.

Can not load help information, so I can not save my work?

I have been working on this vi for about an hour.
When I try to save I ge an error that says "Can not load help information of find_resources.vi"
So it will not let me save it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi James,
That error is usually indicative that the VI is unfortunately corrupt. I'm sorry that you had to spend some time rewriting your code. I wanted to provide some information that I found in case you ran into anything like this again in the future.
If "Select All" then copying to a VI does not work, that is usually a good sign that the VI is corrupt. At that point, there is not much you can do except possibly look at the recovery VIs that LabVIEW saves. If the VI is there, you can try moving it out of the recovery directory and opening it. The location for the autosave directory varies depending on how your system is set up, but it is typically located in your Documents folder > LabVIEW Data > LVAutoSave. For more information on how LabVIEW autosave works, take a look at this KnowledgeBase article.

Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

Because it doesn't recognise them as valid addresses - just as the error message says.
Firefox is similar : Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (fhp) isn't associated with any program.
Where are you seeing this problem ?.

Safari not loading and Itunes not playing

safari not loading and "itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration audio video may not operate properly".
Both were working normally before the used "Apple Software Update" to update all my apple software on 15Apr2012
I wish I didn't disable my system restore, but is there a way I can downgrade Safari and iTunes if this problem can't be a fixed
Must be a problem with just apple software since no other audio application have problems.
Quicktime works properly.
Thanks in advance.

Safari not loading images but other browsers are.

As the title denotes, I'm having this issue with safari that some images are not loading and I only get a blue question mark square. I have seen other forums with this question but it seems that my scenario is a little different, because other browsers like firefox can display images with no problem. Also for example, when I do a google image search only several images get to load while others don't. If I click refresh they finally get loaded but sincerely they take a lot more time to load than on firefox (sometimes refreshing doesn't work either) It might not be such a problem in an image search but on pages like facebook it is quite a hassle.
I don't know what might be causing it, (I don't believe its got to do with my internet connection since firefox has no problems whatsoever.) At first I thought that maybe an update might do the trick so I installed Safari 4 Beta which gave me only a slight better loading of the images.
Now to help see my case I've got some points to say in advance:
1) I don't think it is webpage specific but I frequently see it in google image search and facebook
2) I am using mac OS X 10.5.6
3) Every time an image doesn't load, the activity window says "can't find host"
4) As said above, I'm using Safari 4 Beta. But still I had this problem with the previous Safari

Hello,
We also have a problem with Safari only partially loading pages, or not loading them at all (a blank page is displayed). It happens intermittently, and affects some websites more than others.
It's definitely not an Internet issue as all other browsers (FF 3.5.1, latest Opera, Navigator, IE 6, 7 and 8 via Parallels Desktop) can display the pages normally.
I don't think it is related, but most of the websites that are affected are hosted at MediaTemple:
http://www.bedsupperclub.com
http://www.soundphuket.com
http://www.silqbkk.com
http://www.bedmgmt.com/
Reloading the page doesn't help (we tried reloading a gazillion times).
The issue affects all computers in our office (iMacs, MBP, MB).
We are using the latest version of Safari (4.0.2), it's an issue that we also experienced with 4.0 and the Beta.
We are gradually shifting to Firefox as this issue is really frustrating.

Safari not loading any webpages after 10.7.3 update.

I did the update through software update, and I saw a lot of people having errors with that, but i did not get the cui error, my only issue is safari stopped loading any webpages.
If I try to enter an address in the bar and hit enter, it just beachballs, and than nothing happens, before it used to just keep trying to load it.
I than downloaded the combo updater, opened the dmg, and installed over it, restarted and same issue
Prior to the combo update I repaired any file permissions as well.
How do I get safari to work properly again?
I even uninstalled the clicktoflash extension.
TIA.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that doesn't help, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes click Reset.
If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file form the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If pages load, move that .plist file to the Trash. Otherwise, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
See if that helps. If not, go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab. Deslect: Enable plug ins
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If Safari loads pages, then you need to troublleshoot Safari add ons > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues'
If you have anti virus software installed, disable that. And turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. See if that helps.

Safari not loading web pages

My mom's Powerbook is no longer able to load web pages through Safari. Her email works, as does iChat, so it isn't her internet connection. Other users on the same network can load web pages, so it isn't the service provider. I have had her reset safari, as well as remove the preferences file, and the same thing happens (the 'loading' message appears but nothing ever loads).
Any suggestions what to try next?
Thanks!
Brian

HI Brian,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache.
If that doesn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ Move the Cache.db file to the Trash
If that didn't help...
Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins and /Library/Internet Plugins. If there are plugins in either of those folders, move them to a temporary location on the Desktop. With Safari open, from the Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences and click the Security tab. Make sure Enable Plugins is selected. See if Safari can load web pages. If not, move those files back to the appropriate folder.
Go to /Library/Input Managers. Move any input managers from that folder to the Desktop and relaunch Safari.
Might be a web clip causing the problem. Open Dashboard and remove any web clips.
If she is running Tiger 10.4.11, open System Preferences/Software Updates - Installed Updat4es and make sure she has the 2009-002 Security update installed. If not, download and install it here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_002__Tiger_PPC
If her PowerBookG4 has the original hard drive, 40 or 60GB?, it might be a lack of free disk space.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

Safari Not Loading

Hello!
I am a first time poster to these boards. I am seeking help with Safari 4.0.5, which I updated and installed to my iMac on 3/17/10 (using Safe Mode.)
My iMac is a 2006, Early Version, Intel Core Duo, using OS Tiger, 10.4.11.
The problem is Safari is not loading (versus crashing or unexpectedly quitting.) The problem appears to have started only in the last couple of weeks, and not immediately after the update installation. The loading process times out (3 minutes) and returns the following:
You are not connected to the Internet.
Safari can’t open the page “http://ww2.cox.com/myconnection/arkansas/home.cox” because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet.
Using Network Diagnostics the results window shows the following ( although the address is the home page address and is correct):
Cannot find server
This computer appears to have a working Internet connection, but cannot find "ww2.cox.com".
You may have typed the address incorrectly.
The Network Diagnostics/ Network Status shows
Green Button - Built-In Ethernet
Green Button - Network Settings
Green Button - ISP
Red Button - Internet (failed)
Red Button - Server (failed)
(Sorry - I could not get a picture ofit to paste in this message.)
After reading information on some of the other posted Safari questions I have tried the suggestions that I thought may apply to my Safari problem. So far, here is what I have tried:
– Permissions: I am someone who routinely verifies and repairs permissions, and have done so in this situation.
– Reset Safari: I reset Safari at a minimum daily when I shutdown the computer. Typically, if I am doing many web searches, I will reset Safari 7 to 10 times a day. All the reset options are selected so I hope the caches and cookies are being cleaned out.
– Input Managers/Input Methods: I cannot locate any files or folders labeled as such to remove.
– .plists: From my user library I have removed and replaced the safari.plist, the lastsession.plist, and the history.plist, one at time and tried to restart Safari to no avail.
– Home page address: changed to the Apple site, problem still happens.
– Safe Mode: I have restarted the iMac in safe mode and done all of the above.
– Flash Player: On 3/29/10 I downloaded and installed Flash Player version 10.0.45.2.
– Hardware: I checked all the physical connections and everything seems to be in working order.
By accident, I found a work-around, hopefully temporary, solution. I use the Terminal utility to run the sudo periodic maintenance scripts because the iMac is turned off at night. I also run these scripts when any system problems appear. I find if the sudo periodic daily command is run Safari will then load. Safari may then load just fine for the next few days, or just for one day. Once Safari is loaded there does not seem to be any problems with its performance.
The periodic maintenance scripts are the only UNIX commands I know, and I don’t understand what files are being affected. I cannot discern a particular website visit or function that will cause the next failure to load.
Does anyone have suggestions to resolve this problem (besides never shutting the iMac or Safari off..LOL)?
Thank you,
Cym

Dear Carolyn:
Thank you for your Welcome and quick response. Please do not forsake me now.
The ISP is "seeing" what the iMac Network Diagnosis is reporting, that the built-in ethernet and modem are working, the network settings are fine, and that the ISP "signal" is reaching my computer. The url "ww2.cox.com" is a correct address and the site is functioning. Also checking the hardware connections found nothing loose. So...the problem is my h/w or s/w (or maybe I did not ask the right questions.)
(I have tried to paste a copy of the Network Diagnosis window here but cannot figure out how to do that. I did make a file of it using Preview's Grab function, and can copy it but cannot get it pasted from the clipboard into this post.)
My Safari's home page is set at the "ww2.cox.com" and has been for the last few years, so no new element there. The address is correct. In trying to resolve this 'loading problem' I have experimented and changed the home page to www.apple.com, and www.google.com. The loading still times out and Network Diagnostics still reports, "This computer appears to have a working Internet connection, but cannot find "www.apple.com" (or "www.google.com"). You may have typed the address incorrectly."
As stated in my original post, once the sudo periodic daily script is run, Safari will load with no problem. Safari can find the ww2.cox.com page, or whatever home page I have set. There are no performance problems until the next time Safari will not load.
What is really frustrating is the problem occurrence is not consistent. It may happen the first time Safari is being accessed. It sometimes happens after I used Safari for a couple hours, then Quit, and then try to reopen Safari later. It can happen after a Safari reset only. It does not happen everyday. Safari will open and load fine for a few days, then it won't. And this whole situation only started about March 25th.
It seems like there is some little piece of ??? being corrupted during Safari use, that does not get corrected with permissions repair, or removing the various plists, but gets resolved (albeit temporarily) with the daily maintenance script. I cannot narrow it down.
So, Carolyn, do you have other advice on this subject?
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Cym

Safari Not Loading Webpage Menus

My Safari does not load all webpage menus correctly. I'm trying to book some flights and KLM and Expedia work fine, but the pop-up calendar for the British Airways website seems stuck on January and Etihad will not give destination options in it's drop down menu. I have tried these sites on other computers and everything works fine.
Any thoughts?

Hi ...
Check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode.
Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel, If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
If you haven't emptied the cache or reset Safari lately...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
From the menu bar again, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
Since you are running Lion installing the Java for OS X Lion Update 1 may help also.
Restart your Mac after the update is installed. Try Safari.

Safari not loading some sites.

I don't believe I have changed anything in Safari, but this problem has recently started occuring.
Half the sites I go to won't load properly. It seems to try, as the progress bar begins to fill, but after a couple of seconds it gives up and leaves me with a white page. The activity window shows the page as being 1 byte in size.
This seems to happen more often on some sites than others, whereas some will not be affected at all and will work fine. Some of the offending sites will also load if I copy/paste the link into a new tab, but not if I reload.
It also occurs in the latest Webkit build (34130) but not in Firefox (3.0RC1) or Camino (1.6.1).
I've tried resetting Safari, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem, and often end up going back to Firefox as a result.
Also, Safari will very often not load www.hotmail.com. I get the following message -
"Windows Live ID is unavailable from this site for one of the following reasons:
This site may be experiencing a problem.
The site may not be a member of Windows Live ID.
If I clean out all the hotmail related cookies, it then does usually load, but what a pain. I recently made Safari my preferred browser, but now regret having done so. Since this seems to be an Apple problem, hope they resolve it soon.

I experienced the same issues with Safari not displaying Quicktime video windows. I couldn'e even watch the instructions for Apple programs from the learning center in .MAC.
Solution: Find your Tiger installation disk and reinstall Tiger OS X. Remember to select "archeive & install and don't wipe out your hard disk. And last but not least, run software update and then go watch a baseball game because this will take awhile.

Safari not loading whenever I turned on my mac

Hi
I need help coz whenever I open my Mac then Safari it always not loading. I tried checking my internet connection and it was excellent.
I tried refreshing and force quit any other apps including safari but still not loading. Then, I tried restarting my mac or shut it down after that
I can use the Safari. I need help its really annoying to shut down again my Mac enable me to start up surfing web.
Thanks so much.
Kate

Try turning off Wifi and then on again. I have had similar issues and someone else has suggested this and it works for me. It seems like after going asleep Safari will not load pages any more, even though internet is OK and other browsers/email works fine. There seems to be some bug that affects wuite a few people so I guess Apple will eventually address it.

Safari not loading particular web sites

Safari 5.1.7: Snow Leopard 10.6.8: MBP 2.53 Mid 2009: 8/500
For some reason, Safari does not load drudgereport.com or rushlimbaugh.com. This just started today.
Firefox has some problems too. Chrome loads both sites just fine.
Here is what I've done to try and remedy this in Safari - my browser of choice:
Re-Installed Safari
Deleted Drudge and Rush cookies
Reset Safari
Checked my fonts for duplicates (none found)
Restarted modem & Apple router (shut down for 1 minute +)
Ran applejack
Ran Coctail
De fragged hard drive
Shut down and restarted after a minute or two
Used terminal to find and enter the IP address. (host drudgerepord.com and host rushlimbaugh.com)
Limbaugh took me to Premier Radio Network and Drudge took me nowhere.
All the other sites I visit regularly load just fine.
Can't think of anything else.
UPDATE: I just spent 20 minutes trying to post my problem in an intelligent and comprehensive manner. But... just now I tried both sites again and they loaded fine. So, if you've read this far, I won't be wasting anyone's time. But I'm just going to leave this here anyway.

If you are using an Intel Machine, the 3.0 codec is not available - only for the older iMac machines. Have a look at this thread from the Real Player Forum.
Assuming you are using an Intel machine - To use the 3.0 codec, which is necessary to play the sound files you referenced, you would need to start Safari in Rosetta mode first.
Back to Real Player and your original question:
This is from Real Players on-line help data base:
When you install RealPlayer for Mac OS X, you are prompted to decide which types of files you want to open with it. RealPlayer becomes the default media player for the file types you choose to associate with it.
If you install another media program after installing RealPlayer, some of these file types may be associated with the new program.
To reassign these file types to RealPlayer:
Open RealPlayer for Mac OS X, click the RealPlayer menu, and choose Preferences. The Preferences box opens.
Select the Media Types category.
Select the file types you want RealPlayer to play by default, and then click Save Media Types. The changes will take affect after you restart RealPlayer.
If you are still experiencing problems, Safari may be overriding your choices. To reassign file-types for Safari:
Find one of the downloaded files in the Finder.
Hold the control key down and click on the file.
Select Get Info from the file's menu.
In the Open With area of the file's Info window, choose RealPlayer as the application.
Click Change All.
Follow the above instructions and post back.
